Giovanni Bastianini, arguably the most gifted Florentine imitator of Italian Renaissance sculpture during the 19th century, became the subject of controversy that continues to this day. While exploring the dichotomy between his pseudo-Renaissance and his contemporary 'period' style, Moskowitz places him firmly within the economic, political and cultural context of the Risorgimento. Both Europeans and Americans, eager to imbibe the atmosphere of a lost Golden Age, formed a ready market that encouraged the production of neo-Renaissance art.
